Monty's digging tool

[caroline7758]

Did anyone see Monty Don planting out herbs on GW last night? That tool he was using looked great- a kind of mini azada. Anyone know where I could get one?

It is not same as what Monty used..but you could get one of the 'baby chillingtons and fit short handle for it..

You can find in Ebay under 'oriental hoe' or 'Japanese hoe' something similar to monty's..
